Based on International Literacy Association, Standards for Reading Professionals, Revised 2010.
Standard 5: Literate Environment (These standards are designed for reading professionals and are used as the foundation for creating meaningful literate experiences for parents and families.) "The Literate Environment Standard focuses on the need for candidates to synthesize their foundational knowledge about content, pedagogy, the effective use of physical space, instructional materials and technology, and the impact of the social environment to create an environment that fosters and supports students’ traditional print, digital, and online reading and writing achievement. This standard recognizes that candidates must create a literate environment that meets the diverse needs of students and facilitates connections across content areas as well as with the world outside the school."
"An effective literate environment offers both visible and “invisible” support (i.e., psychological, social, emotional) to learners as they expand their literacies."
"The goal of the literate environment is to create a flexible border between the world outside the classroom and school to the world within (i.e., making the curriculum permeable to the social context). Learning should extend beyond the walls of the educational context to explore the potential for acts of literacy that affect the world outside."
"Learners require a literate environment that affords them the opportunity to engage in meaningful ways by providing time, accessibility, tools, choice, and support."

Beginning February 24, 2015 I begin seeking feedback.
Invited one colleague to view the PowToon and give me feedback before I posted it to YouTube.
Posted the PowToon video to Facebook
Feedback Received as of February 28, 2013
From my colleague: Graphic on one slide did not match the tone of the rest of the slide, consider changing image of cartoon caveman to image of child.
Facebook ~ 15 written comments. Most of the comments were very positive. 2 suggestions were given to add time to the slides with the most text to allow more time for viewers to read the message. One suggestion was to not use a yellow color font. One respondent found a typo in the bibliographies.
Facebook, cont. One respondent said she was inspired to wake-up her son and read to him right away, one respondent is also a reading interventionist in Phoenix, Az. She requested using my video to show some of the parents of her students.
Own Realization: I made many minor adjustments, add some content to the first quote, worked at changing some of the transitions.
There were many revisions in terms of background colors, font, selection of images, music and those were all based on my own experimentation and reflection.
Initial Meme: "Share a Story, Inspire a Reader"
